"The most convivial of ales" as described (and often imbibed) by 'The Bard' himself has become the adopted beer of the bohemian vagabonds of the Scottish arts scene. A pale golden brew, that is cold stored with gooseberries to deliver a sharp refreshing drinking experience.

Pours hazy dark golden color with thin white head. Floral and fruity aroma with some wheat. Berry flavor and flowery with a strange aftertaste. Thin body with soft carbonation.

Pale amber with a small head. Aroma is full of sweet apples, white grapes and definite gooseberries. Also some weird sort of resiny herbal scent, presumably from the bogmyrtle.Flavours are quite similar, tangy gooseberries, bready malt and more of that herbal note, which contributes an extra dimension to the otherwise weak finish.Medium body suits the beer well.The sweet and tart gooseberries are refreshing, but this is really a novelty beer.

0,5lt Bottle (came as a gift with an order). Haze orange color with a small white head. Citric and herbal aroma. The flavor is a bit weird and not very well balanced. Citric fruits, lots of wheat, herbs and spices. Refreshing ans interesting yet I don;t thng I would try another bottle.

330ml bottle from a Real Food Store in Edinburgh. Golden brown body under an one-finger, frothy white head. Discreet hints of berries and fruits to the nose. Taste of spiced berries. Short, bittersweet tail. Foamy in the mouth [hotel room at Caravel Guest House, 24.10.2008].

Fruity and hoppy in the nose.Yellow-golden coloured brew, with a small white head. Flavour has an hint of gooseberries, a weak taste of honey and bread, along with some crystal malts. Odd beer.

Bottle, Barleycorns, Nantwich. Poured a hazy amber orange with a thin white head. Vague slightly grassy berry aroma. Didn’t detect a huge amount of berry in the flavour, but its just about there in the background. Mouthfeel was a bit thin. Refreshing enough but on the dull side of the fence.
